December/January Books

December:

Heaven Misplaced - Doug Wilson (for fun)

A fun and challenging take on eschatology. Not buying every bit of it, but it's a worthy read.

Desiring God - John Piper (for D-Group)

A modern classic on practical Christian living. This must be the billionth time I've read it.

2000 Years of Christ's Power, Vol. 2: The Middle Ages - N.R. Needham (for class)

Good, accessible.

Handbook of Church Discipline - Jay Adams (for class)

Very helpful.

The Unsearchable Riches of Christ - Martyn Lloyd-Jones (for sermon prep)

Beautiful, rich.

January:

A Study in Scarlet - Arthur Conan Doyle (for fun)

Doyle's first Holmes novel. Mine, too. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

The Sign of Four - Arthur Conan Doyle (for fun)

Pretty good.

Mortification of Sin - John Owen (for class)

Unbelievable. Unparalleled. No one deals with the heart like Owen. No one. Read this book once a year—at the least.

Of Temptation - John Owen (for class)

Excellent. Another must-read. In fact, read the entire volume Crossway published called "Sin & Temptation." You won't regret it.

Christian Unity - Martyn Lloyd-Jones (for sermon prep)

Very good. Lloyd-Jones has been invaluable to me in helping me rapidly process and get to the heart of Ephesians.
